La Raisin d'Or 2026

La Raisin d'Or is a trail-running and walking weekend in Sauternes, Gironde, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, typically held in early November. Organized by Les Baroudeurs du Sauternais, the event offers a range of activities from short children's runs to adult trail races, Nordic walking, regular walking, Canitrail, and Canicross. The primary running distances are 9 km, 14 km, and 25 km, with longer options extending up to 80 km. Children's races, covering 400 m, 1.2 km, 2.7 km, and 3.9 km, are free, ensuring participation for younger runners. The course names reflect the Sauternes wine region: Le Semillon is the 9 km trail, La Sauvignon is the 14 km trail, and La Sauternaise is the 25 km trail. The terrain is hilly, with approximately 150 m of elevation gain on the 9 km route, 220 m on the 14 km route, and 250 m on the 25 km route. Walking events include the 15 km Croq'Raisin walk and a 14 km Nordic walk named La Conquete des Chateaux. The event's appeal lies in its setting, with participants crossing vineyard landscapes surrounding a renowned sweet-wine village, integrating local heritage and chateau country into its identity.
